Moore, Stanford

(born Sept. 4, 1913, Chicago, Ill., U.S.—died Aug. 23, 1982, New York, N.Y.) U.S. biochemist. He shared a 1972 Nobel Prize with Christian Anfinsen (1916–95) and William Stein (1911–80) for research on the molecular structures of proteins. He is best known for his applications of chromatography to the analysis of amino acids and peptides obtained from proteins and biological fluids and for the use of those analyses in determining the structure of the enzyme ribonuclease.

Moore, Stanford (1913–82) biochemist; born in Chicago. He was affiliated with Rockefeller Institute for most of the years from 1939 until his death. Using ion-exchange chromatography, he and William Stein analyzed the amino acids present in a variety of proteins; in 1960, they mapped out the complete amino acid sequence of ribonuclease. He shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with William Stein for this work (1972).
